The present invention provides substituted benzoic acids, their salts and esters. The compounds are distinguished by a blood sugar lowering action.
It is known that sulfonamide derivatives such as sulfonyl-ureas, sulfonyl-semicarbazides, sulfonamido-pyrimidines and some other sulfonamide heterocycles as well as sulfonyl-urethanes show a blood sugar lowering action in a not pre-treated test animal. Some of these compounds are also used in human therapy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It has been found that, surprisingly, substituted benzoic acids, their salts and esters also provoke a lowering of the blood sugar level.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to benzoic acids and their derivatives having blood sugar lowering action, in particular to compounds of the general formula I ##STR1## in which
W represents a carboxyl group or a salt or ester thereof
X represents an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system,
Y represents a single chemical bond or a hydrocarbon bridge, and
Z represents hydrogen or one or several other substituents.
For the formation of salts of the carboxyl group that may be used as substituent W, there are suitable in the first instance the alkali metals and ammonium. However, other metals may also be used, for example alkaline earth metals. But, in view of the pharmaceutical use of the products, the use of the metals is limited to those which are physiologically tolerated.
For a possible esterification of the carboxyl group, on principle all alcohols may be used. The lower monohydric alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or propanol, and polyhydric alcohols, for example glycol, or alcohols with other functional groups such as ethanolamine or glycol ethers are preferred.
As the substituent X in the above formula, there may be used in the first instance mono-nuclear aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems, in particular the unsubstituted or singly or several times substituted phenyl radical, the pyridine radical or the thiophene radical. In the same manner, there are also suitable poly-nuclear aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems, among them also those which are partially hydrogenated, for example naphthalene, benzofurane, dihydrobenzofurane, chromane, chromene or homochromane, quinoline, benzthiophene.
As the member Y in the above formula, there may be used, besides a single chemical bond, in particular lower hydrocarbon chains. These may be straight or branched and also substituted or interrupted by a heteroatom.
The member Z is in the first instance hydrogen, but a substitution of the central phenyl nucleus by one or several substituents is not excluded.
In the tests for the activity of the compounds of the invention, especially those of the general formula II showed outstanding properties. ##STR2## In the above formula:
T' represents hydrogen or halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine,
W' represents a carboxyl group, an ester or a salt thereof,
X' represents
(a) a phenyl radical which may carry at any positions the substituents R, R1 and R2, R being hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenoxy, alkoxy-alkoxy, phenoxy, halogen, amino, alkylamino, anilino or trifluoromethyl, and R1 and R2, independently of each other, each being hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen;
(b) ring systems of the formula III ##STR3## in which R3 represents hydrogen or methyl, and R4 represents hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen in the m- or p-position to the CONH-group, and A represents a hydrocarbon chain of 2 to 4 carbon atoms;
(c) a quinoline radical of the formula IV ##STR4## in which R5 represents hydrogen, methyl, methoxy or halogen, or
(d) a thiophene radical of the formula V ##STR5## in which R6 and R7, independently of each other, each represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen;
(e) ##STR6## in which R8 represents lower alkyl and R9 represents halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine,
Y' represents a single chemical bond or a hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and
Z' represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, alkoxy-alkoxy or alkenyloxy.
Alkyl or alkenyl and the alkyl portions in alkoxy, alkenoxy, alkoxy-alkoxy and alkylamino in the sense of the above definitions are straight chain or branched hydrocarbon radicals having not too large a number of carbon atoms. It has been found that the members which contain up to 6 carbon atoms showed the best activity. Halogen in the above sense is in the first instance chlorine and bromine, but it may also be fluorine, especially if X' is a phenyl radical. The corresponding iodine compounds are, in general, also active, but their use is less advisable.
As the bridging member Y', the hydrocarbon bridges with 2 carbon atoms, which themselves may be substituted, also by alkyl groups, are preferably used. Accordingly, the group --CH2 --CH2 -- and the group --CH(CH3)--CH2 -- are particularly preferred. Less preferred are the other straight chain or branched hydrocarbon bridges containing up to 3 carbon atoms.
The present invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing the above-specified compounds of the invention, which process comprises
(a) reacting an amino compound of the general formula ##STR7## or its formyl compound with a reactive derivative of the acid X'COOH, and optionally splitting off the formyl radical;
(b) in a compound of the general formula ##STR8## in which V represents a radical which is convertible into a carboxyl group, converting said radical into a carboxyl group,
(c) replacing the sulfur atom by an oxygen atom in compounds of the general formula ##STR9##
(d) hydrolyzing compounds of the general formula ##STR10## in which U represents low molecular alkoxy, low molecular alkylthio or halogen, or
(e) alkylating in compounds of the general formula ##STR11## the hydroxy group or a hydroxy group present in the radical X', or
(f) rearranging a nitrone of the formula ##STR12## to an acid amide;
and optionally converting the compound obtained into a free benzoic acid or an ester or salt thereof.
The amino compounds serving as starting materials for method (a) are known and may be prepared without difficulty according to methods known for analogous compounds.
These amino compounds are reacted, preferably in the presence of bases, with reactive derivatives of the acid X'--COOH, for example with its halides, anhydrides, mixed anhydrides, azides or esters.
The starting substances for the method (b) may be obtained by acylating an amine of the general formula ##STR13## with a radical X'CO or acylating, for example a compound of the general formula ##STR14## Depending on the nature of the group V, they may be converted by suitable reactions into the compounds of the invention. Such suitable reactions may be, for example a hydrolysis if the substituent V is an amide, a nitrile, an acid halide or a keto-acid, or a hydrazide. Oxydative conversion is used, for example if V represents an alcohol-, aldehyde- or acyl-grouping. If V is halogen, it can be transformed into a carboxyl group by a Grignard reaction.
The starting substances for method (c) may be obtained, for example by reacting an amino compound of the formula ##STR15## or its ester or salt with a reactive derivative of a thiocarboxylic acid X'CSOH. These thioamides may be desulfurized according to methods used for similar compounds, in particular those of the sulfonyl-urea series, the treatment with hydrogen peroxide or sodium peroxide having proved to be especially suitable.
The starting substances for method (d) may be obtained, for example by methylating the thioamides mentioned under (c), preferably their esters, with diazomethane. They are hydrolyzed in an acid or alkaline medium, the alkaline hydrolysis being preferred.
Etherification of the hydroxyl groups according to method (e) is effected according to known methods, for example by the reaction with dialkyl sulfate or alkyl- or aralkyl-halide.
Compounds of the general formula II in which X' represents a phenyl group which is substituted by an amino group can be obtained from the corresponding nitro-compounds by reduction.
The compounds of the invention have a blood-sugar lowering activity. This activity can be observed by feeding the compounds as such, their salts or esters, in doses of 10 to 400 mg, preferably about 100 mg/kg, to normally fed rabbits and determining the blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time according to the known method of Hagedorn-Jensen or with the aid of an auto-analyzer.
The compounds of the invention shall be used preferably for the preparation of orally administrable compositions having blood sugar lowering action for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and may be administered as such or, optionally, in the form of their salts or esters, or in the presence of substances which provoke salt formation. For the salt formation, for example alkaline substances such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates may be used.
As medicinal compositions, there are preferably used tablets which contain, in addition to the products of the invention, the usual carriers, excipients and adjuvants such as talc, starch, lactose, tragacanth or magnesium stearate.
A composition containing the compounds of the invention as active substance, for example a tablet or a powder, with or without additions is suitably brought into an appropriate dosage unit form. As the dose, such a dose is chosen which is adapted to the activity or potency of the active substance used and to the effect desired. Suitably, the dose per dosage unit is about 0.1 to 2 g, preferably 0.5 to 1 g, but higher or smaller dosage units may also be used which, if desired or required, are divided or multiplied before administration.
The benzoic acid derivatives of the invention may be used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus either alone or in combination with other oral antidiabetics. As such, there may used not only the blood sugar lowering sulfonyl-ureas, but also compounds of different chemical structure, for example biguanides, in particular the phenylethyl-biguanide or the dimethyl-biguanide.
The following Examples describe some of the numerous methods which may be used for the synthesis of the compounds of the invention.
